Shelby is 1!

Well it happened. Our fourth baby turned one. It is amazing how time seems to be speeding up all the time. I'm pretty sure it will feel like the blink of an eye when I'm saying our fourth baby has gone off to college. Yikes. Anyways, back to that baby.

Things we want to remember about Shelby at one:

- 22 lbs. 12 oz. (87th %) 29.9 in. (77th %) head circumference - 18.2 in. (85th %)

- She is starting to walk more and more. She loves to be outside and has worn through a few different pairs of pants, so that will be handy for her pants at least. :)

- She says hi, mama, and dada. She waves bye and claps (but only if she feels like it.) I had been trying to get her to clap for a long time but she was not interested. Then one day in the car the "Hand Clap" song came on. It says, "I can make your hands clap" and then everyone in the car would join in for the clapping part and after a couple times through that Shelby decided to join in. So that was how she finally learned to clap.

- She loves high fives. She will just stick her hand out to one of us randomly expecting us to give her a nice solid high five and it always makes her smile.

- She eats pretty much everything we offer her. Gogurt might be her favorite thing.

- She is really terrible at getting her diaper changed (just like all our kids have been). So wiggly and not wanting to be held down!

- She is not especially friendly to people she doesn't know. It takes some real work and quality time to win her over.

- She loves music. She loves to dance like crazy every time music comes on and when we're all singing she joins in in her own language.

- She goes to bed at night around 7:30 or 8 and wakes up around 7. She has started going back and forth between one nap and two.
